Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has revealed that Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer will feature upgradable Perks, allowing players to "rank up" their Perks to an "upgraded Pro version."
Talking to GamerZines about additions made to Modern Warfare 2's Perk system, Bowling said:
"We've made extensive additions to the perk system and create a class system as a whole. You can now customize killstreak rewards in addition to your weapon loadout, so your reward for multiple kills without a death can be customized to how you like to play. For example, I forego any 3 Killstreak or 5 killstreak and focus on the bigger payoffs for longer killstreaks.

Perks are subtle modifiers used within Modern Warfare and World at War's multiplayer that allow players to customise their play style, and gain access to a handful of advantages.
New Perks are unlocked as players reach new ranks, and those included in the original Modern Warfare include the Bandolier Perk for extra ammunition, or Sleight of Hand, which allows for faster reloading.
The original Modern Warfare still remains one of the most played games on Xbox Live, sitting in third place for Live Activity this week behind Call of Duty: World at War and Halo 3.
Modern Warfare 2 launches worldwide on November 10th on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Many reckon it'll be the biggest entertainment launch in history. We're buying it. Are you?
